COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Stephanie White-McCarty scored 20 points and Camille Cooper had 12 of her 14 in the second half as second-ranked Purdue shook off a sluggish start and hung on to beat No. 19 Ohio State 64-56 Tuesday night.

The defeat was Ohio State’s first against a ranked opponent in the Buckeyes’ new Value City Arena.

White-McCarty hit a jumper and a pair of 3-pointers, and Cooper dominated in the lane, getting six close-in baskets, to give Purdue a 50-37 lead with 8:27 remaining.

White-McCarty’s first 3-pointer gave Purdue the lead for good at 30-27.

Ohio State (13-5, 6-2) got within six points at 62-56 in the closing seconds on two 3-pointers from Larecha Jones. But her third attempt at a late basket from long range bounced off the rim, ending Ohio State’s chances.
